Abstract :
In recent studies the possibility of extending autofocusing techniques to fully polarimetric ISAR systems has been proposed. The image contrast and entropy based autofocusing techniques have been proposed in the last decade as some of the most common techniques for obtaining well focused single polarisation ISAR images. In this paper, the two techniques are extended and applied to fully polarimetric ISAR data. A performance analysis is then provided and compared to single polarisation ISAR using real data.
